Introduction to the Proposal of The Open Working Group for Sustainable Development Goals

1. The Rio+20 outcome document, The future we want, inter alia, set out a mandate to establish an Open Working Group to develop a set of
sustainable development goals for consideration and appropriate action by the General Assembly at its 68th session. It also provided the basis
for their conceptualization. The Rio outcome gave the mandate that the SDGs should be coherent with and integrated into the UN development agenda beyond
2015.

2. Poverty eradication is the greatest global challenge facing the world today and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. The Rio+20
outcome reiterated the commitment to freeing humanity from poverty and hunger as a matter of urgency.

3. Poverty eradication, changing unsustainable and promoting sustainable patterns of consumption and production and protecting and managing the natural
resource base of economic and social development are the overarching objectives of and essential requirements for sustainable development.

4. People are at the centre of sustainable development and, in this regard, Rio+20 promised to strive for a world that is just, equitable and inclusive,
and committed to work together to promote sustained and inclusive economic growth, social development and environmental protection and thereby to benefit
all, in particular the children of the world, youth and future generations of the world without distinction of any kind such as age, sex, disability,
culture, race, ethnicity, origin, migratory status, religion, economic or other status.

5. Rio+20 also reaffirmed all the principles of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, including, inter alia, the principle of common but
differentiated responsibilities, as set out in principle 7 thereof.

6. It also reaffirmed the commitment to fully implement the Rio Declaration, Agenda 21, the Programme for the Further Implementation of Agenda 21, the Plan
of Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (Johannesburg Plan of Implementation) and the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable
Development, the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States (Barbados Programme of Action) and the Mauritius
Strategy for the Further Implementation of the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States. It also reaffirmed
the commitment to the full implementation of the Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011–2020 (Istanbul Programme of
Action), the Almaty Programme of Action: Addressing the Special Needs of Landlocked Developing Countries within a New Global Framework for Transit
Transport Cooperation for Landlocked and Transit Developing Countries, the political declaration on Africa’s development needs and the New Partnership for
Africa’s Development. It reaffirmed the commitments in the outcomes of all the major United Nations conferences and summits in the economic, social and
environmental fields, including the United Nations Millennium Declaration, the 2005 World Summit Outcome, the Monterrey Consensus of the International
Conference on Financing for Development, the Doha Declaration on Financing for Development, the outcome document of the High-level Plenary Meeting of the
General Assembly on the Millennium Development Goals, the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, the key
actions for the further implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and the Beijing Declaration
and Platform for Action, and the outcome documents of their review conferences. The Outcome document of the September 2013 special event to follow up
efforts made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals reaffirmed, inter alia, the determination to craft a strong post-2015 development agenda.
The commitment to migration and development was reaffirmed in the Declaration of the High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development.

7. Rio+20 outcome reaffirmed the need to be guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, with full respect for international
law and its principles. It reaffirmed the importance of freedom, peace and security, respect for all human rights, including the right to development and
the right to an adequate standard of living, including the right to food and water, the rule of law, good governance, gender equality, women’s empowerment
and the overall commitment to just and democratic societies for development. It also reaffirmed the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, as well as other international instruments relating to human rights and international law.

8. The OWG underscored that the global nature of climate change calls for the widest possible cooperation by all countries and their participation in an
effective and appropriate international response, with a view to accelerating the reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions. It recalled that the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change provides that parties should protect the climate system for the benefit of present and future generations of
humankind on the basis of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities. It noted with grave
concern the significant gap between the aggregate effect of mitigation pledges by parties in terms of global annual emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020
and aggregate emission pathways consistent with having a likely chance of holding the increase in global average temperature below 2° C, or 1.5° C above
pre-industrial levels and it reaffirmed that the ultimate objective under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a
level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.

9. Planet Earth and its ecosystems are our home and that “Mother Earth” is a common expression in a number of countries and regions, and Rio+20 noted that
some countries recognize the rights of nature in the context of the promotion of sustainable development. Rio+20 affirmed the conviction that in order to
achieve a just balance among the economic, social and environmental needs of present and future generations, it is necessary to promote harmony with
nature. It acknowledged the natural and cultural diversity of the world, and recognized that all cultures and civilizations can contribute to sustainable
development.

10. Rio+20 recognized that each country faces specific challenges to achieve sustainable development. It underscored the special challenges facing the most
vulnerable countries and, in particular, African countries, least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing States,
as well as the specific challenges facing the middle-income countries. Countries in situations of conflict also need special attention.

11. Rio+20 reaffirmed the commitment to strengthen international cooperation to address the persistent challenges related to sustainable development for
all, in particular in developing countries. In this regard, it reaffirmed the need to achieve economic stability, sustained economic growth, the promotion
of social equity and the protection of the environment, while enhancing gender equality, women’s empowerment and equal employment for all, and the
protection, survival and development of children to their full potential, including through education.

12. Each country has primary responsibility for its own economic and social development and the role of national policies, domestic resources and
development strategies cannot be overemphasized. Developing countries need additional resources for sustainable development. There is a need for
significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources and the effective use of financing, in order to promote sustainable development. Rio+20
affirms the commitment to reinvigorating the global partnership for sustainable development and to mobilizing the necessary resources for its
implementation. The report of the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts on Sustainable Development Financingwill propose options for a
sustainable development financing strategy. The substantive outcome of the third International Conference on Financing for Development in July 2015 will
assess the progress made in the implementation of the Monterrey Consensus and the Doha Declaration. Good governance and the rule of law at the national and
international levels are essential for sustained, inclusive and equitable economic growth, sustainable development and the eradication of poverty and
hunger.

13. Rio+20 reaffirmed that there are different approaches, visions, models and tools available to each country, in accordance with its national
circumstances and priorities, to achieve sustainable development in its three dimensions which is our overarching goal.

14. The implementation of sustainable development goals will depend on a global partnership for sustainable development with the active engagement of
governments, as well as civil society, the private sector, and the United Nations system. A robust mechanism of implementation review will be essential for
the success of the SDGs. The General Assembly, the ECOSOC system and the High Level Political Forum will play a key role in this regard.

15. Rio+20 reiterated the commitment to take further effective measures and actions, in conformity with international law, to remove the obstacles to the
full realization of the right of self-determination of peoples living under colonial and foreign occupation, which continue to adversely affect their
economic and social development as well as their environment, are incompatible with the dignity and worth of the human person and must be combated and
eliminated.

16. Rio+20 reaffirmed that, in accordance with the Charter, this shall not be construed as authorizing or encouraging any action against the territorial
integrity or political independence of any State. It resolved to take further effective measures and actions, in conformity with international law, to
remove obstacles and constraints, strengthen support and meet the special needs of people living in areas affected by complex humanitarian emergencies and
in areas affected by terrorism.

17. In order to monitor the implementation of the SDGs, it will be important to improve the availability of and access to data and statistics disaggregated
by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts to
support the support the monitoring of the implementation of the SDGs. There is a need to take urgent steps to improve the quality, coverage and
availability of disaggregated data to ensure that no one is left behind.

18. Sustainable Development Goals are accompanied by targets and will be further elaborated through indicators focused on measurable outcomes. They are
action oriented, global in nature and universally applicable. They take into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and
respect national policies and priorities. They build on the foundation laid by the MDGs, seek to complete the unfinished business of the MDGs, and respond
to new challenges. These goals constitute an integrated, indivisible set of global priorities for sustainable development. Targets are defined as
aspirational global targets, with each government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national
circumstances. The goals and targets integrate economic, social and environmental aspects and recognize their interlinkages in achieving sustainable
development in all its dimensions.
